I'm sure you would have tried it but getting your bottom higher than your head helps to encourage a breech baby to turn. This worked for me every time during my pregnancy with Lucas, although he was not a frank breech.
My mum had a ECV and said it was uncomfortable, but not painful like cricket said, and that the baby did not turn immediatley but later that night when she went to bed.
I had this done in NZ with Hannah. We went to the hospital and they had fetal monitors, heart rate monitors (on me) and and an U/S all going, As soeone else mentioned I was given an injection to relax and the bottom half of the bed was elevated before they tried manually to turn Hannah. Unfortuantely for us it didnt work - it was very painful for me and tht was why we stopped.
I would say that in the correct environment with good monitoring of you and bub it would be definitely worth a try. Good luck.
